Why now

Everyone built for the student.
Nobody built for the teacher.

ClassPass. Mindbody. Peloton. Every platform in yoga extracts value from teachers without returning any of the infrastructure.

No portable identity

Your credentials, hours, and student history live in studio software you don't own. When you leave, you start over.

No business infrastructure

Invoicing spreadsheets. Venmo payments. Personal liability. The average yoga teacher runs a business with no business tools.

No path to the real money

Corporate wellness pays $200–400/hr. Clinical yoga therapy is entering insurance reimbursement. Teachers can't access either market without the rails to get there.

The gap isn't a market inefficiency. It's a missing layer of infrastructure. That's what yogaforlife builds.

The platform

Five layers.
One complete OS.

Built in sequence. Each layer unlocks the next.

LAYER 01

Teacher Identity & Credential Stack

Your professional record — portable, verified, and owned by you. RYT hours, specializations, continuing education, studio history, student outcomes. Everything a credentialing body, corporate client, or hospital would need to trust you.

No studio holds this. You do.

LAYER 02

Business Infrastructure

The back office a yoga business actually needs. Scheduling, contracts, invoicing, tax tracking, insurance, class management — built for the way yoga teachers actually work: multiple studios, mixed income, gig-based, always moving.

Think Stripe + Gusto + QuickBooks. Except it already knows you're a yoga teacher.

LAYER 03

Corporate Access Marketplace

Fortune 500 HR departments want verified yoga teachers. They have no reliable way to find them. You have no reliable way in. yogaforlife is the B2B rail between you and them — credentialing, booking, liability, and outcome reporting included.

Corporate pays $200–400/hr. One client changes the math entirely.

LAYER 04

Clinical Integration Layer

Yoga therapy is entering hospital protocols and insurance reimbursement. There is no credentialing standard for it. No referral infrastructure. No outcomes platform. No billing codes in use.

We're building all of it. This is a 10-year build. We're starting now.

LAYER 05

The Lifelong Practice Record

A longitudinal record of a practitioner's entire yoga life. Styles practiced. Teachers trained under. Health outcomes, self-reported across years. Not a class log — a clinical-grade chart of a person's practice.

yogaforlife: a record you carry for life.

LAYER 06Coming 2026

Teacher Placement Network

Direct placement connecting credentialed teachers to studios, corporates, and clinics actively hiring.

The name

One name.
Three people hear it differently.

The practitioner hears:

a practice that lasts a lifetime.

The teacher hears:

a career — not a gig.

The clinician hears:

an intervention with a longitudinal evidence base.

The long game

Yoga is becoming medicine.
It needs medical-grade infrastructure.

Harvard and NIH have the studies. Hospitals have the need. Insurance companies are updating their reimbursement criteria. The only missing piece is infrastructure. yogaforlife builds the layer between the evidence and the system.
